The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has observed that the re-opening of schools in January 2021 would be impossible if the rising new infections of COVID-19 in the country are not brought under control.
The Commission appealed to the public to adhere to the COVID-19 health safety protocols to stem the spread of the pandemic.
Mr Eric Adu, the Acting Ahafo Regional Director of the NCCE, indicated the government was worried about the ‘fate of our school children’ in the house for several months because of the closure of schools due to the COVID-19.
“The promise and assurance of the government to re-open schools in January cannot be fulfilled if the positive cases continue to surge,” Mr Adu noted, at a COVID-19 education forum, held at Bomaa in the Tano North Municipality of the Ahafo Region.

NCCE urges market women to adhere to coronavirus protocols
They must observe social distancing, wear nose masks or face shields, and use hand sanitizers frequently.
Mr. Eric Adu, Ahafo Regional Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), who gave the advice expressed worry that currently, social distancing was virtually absent in many market places.
This worrying trend, he noted, could trigger the spread of new infections of the viral disease.
The situation could subsequently lead to the closure of markets, affect businesses, and have devastating impact on the socio-economic livelihoods of market women.
Speaking at a COVID-19 education forum held at the Dadiesoaba market in the Asutifi South District of the Ahafo Region, Mr. Adu observed that COVID-19 was resurfacing in the country because the public disregarded health and safety protocols.
